I have noticed that men in general just don't approach women anymore.
Thanks in large part to sexual harassment laws. I hope the feminazis are happy being alone and lonely now.

Make an innuendo, get slapped.
Make a suggestion, get slapped.
Make a move, get slapped.

I'd say 3 times according to the above.

Outside of that, maybe a once or twice a year.
Yeah, im pretty sure a woman stnading close to you, doesnt apply to this scenario...lmao

He said in public though, not bars.

If you change it to bars or parties, the amount of women who have rarely or never been hit on will hit a really low number.

I actually just saw that, so I change my answer to never.

Ha...well there you go then...so much for the 'sanctity' of marriage. But oh no, the enemy is not from within, it's those **** who will destroy marriage.

I think that having a friend of the opposite sex present is a major benefit in determining if a guy/gal is just being friendly or flirty. Obviously a guy being lewd is a guy being lewd, but I come onto girls much more subtley unless I'm hammered. In that case, it's a quick gaze into their eyes and smile followed by an immediate kiss.

I've been out with my sister as well as female friends and have been completely oblivious to another girl flirting until they mentioned it to me

Then, when I say something, coldness. Then when I ignore them, "Oh hey, I know you!"...stupid games they play. It's like reverse negging.

I would not consider that getting 'hit on.' Maybe my inexperienced mind conjures up images of foxy, middle aged women actively grabbing a man by the tie and whispering 'wanna have some fun, lover boy?' but I suppose this scenario doesn't happen so much in real life? Maybe I expect women to be more pro-active than they are, which is why I never get any attention. The movies make it seem like women hit on men as much as men hit on women, but I know that's not real life.

Well, I'm not going to argue with you here, but there are several core similarities.

I was never married, I just wore the ring to keep guys away. Who knew it was backfiring on me? lol

A lot of people have some pretty wild imaginations as well. I had a friend in college who thought every guy that looked at her wanted in her pants. She also thought one of my closest guy friends was in love with her, but he didn't care for her much at all. It's all perception and ego.

It's happened to me before. But to be honest, I'm not sure if I could take being hit on every day.
